1. Gentle:
· Encourage your cat to perceive hands as a source of comfort.
· Cats sometimes might try to bite down your hand. She might think of your hand as prey.
· To prevent this, the moment she starts to take your hand inside her mouth, try not to pull your hands away. This will only make your hands look like a rat. Stay calm and stay still.
· When your cat lets you go, click with the other hand using a clicker and say "gentle." Slowly pull your hand away from her mouth.
· Engage her with toys like cat wands and treats.
2. Find it:
· Toss the treats which your cat values the most near her.
· Once your cat grasps what’s happening and starts to follow the toss, use the cue word "find it
· Hide your cat’s treat and encourage your cat to find it. This keeps your cat well exercised and more active.
3. Sit:
· Place your cat on a table or a chair.
· While she's standing, lure your cat into a sit position by showing her a treat and moving it above her head.
· The moment she sits, give her the treat followed by a click.
· Once your cat starts to consistently sit with this method, use the cue word “sit” and reduce the frequency of the treats.
4. Potty Training:
· Choose the right size of the litter box and suitable litter for your cat. If you have multiple cats, make sure to get a separate litter box for each of them.
· Place the litter box in a quiet place, preferably out of all household disturbances. Make sure the litter box is away from their bed, food, and water bowls.
· If you find your cat using the litter box after having food or after a nap, reward them.
· If you find your cat not using the litter box frequently, try using a litter attractant.
